Maven外部jar依赖

Question

I am trying to use a jar given by my teacher in my code. So I placed the jar in a lib directory in my project and ran this command :

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=lib/IDLogger.jar -DgroupId=IDLogger -DartifactId=IDLogger -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar

Everything is fine.

Then I add the dependency to the pom :

<dependency>
   <groupId>IDLogger</groupId>
   <artifactId>IDLogger</artifactId>
   <version>1.0</version>
   <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

But then when I try to use the jar, the compilation fails and tells me that the symbol(the class) can't be found. I even tried adding an import statement :

import IDLogger.IDLogger;

but it tells me that there is no such package.

How can I use this jar in my code in maven?

This is the code :

IDLogger logger = IDLogger.getInstance(); 

...

logger.logID(id); 

I get the symbol IDLogger not found error

This is as much as I know about this custom jar...

Try to add your lib in system scope :

1. add in your project :

    Your Project/lib 
                +IDLogger.jar

2. in your pom :

     <dependency>
       <groupId>IDLogger</groupId>
       <artifactId>IDLogger</artifactId>
       <version>1.0</version>
       <scope>system</scope>
        <systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/IDLogger.jar</systemPath>
     </dependency>
